Luminescent horizontal three stripes band for sports apparels

ABSTRACT

A novel luminescent three horizontal stripes band consists of, including but not limited to, luminous plastic tapes, dyes and threads attached, painted, and embroidered around the neck of a polar shirt, around the side of a bucket hat, ski hat, along the right and left side of a sun visor cap with the three horizontal stripes ending at the beginning where a predetermined fastening attachment is placed at the back of the said caps; around the side of a sport cap, on a wrist band, head band, and arm band. The luminescent stripes band of this invention has an opening at the front middle face where the three stripes do not cross over for, including but not limited to, a logo, an emblem and a trademark to be positioned. The luminescent three stripes band gives a ‘warning’ signal to a bystander that the wearer is amongst the surroundings of the bystander when, but not limited to the sun setting, in bad weather, at night, forest and in a dark park.

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel luminescent threehorizontal stripes band for various sports apparels.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to a luminescent three horizontalstripes band consists of luminescent materials decorated on differentsports apparels.
